No I don't condone it. But i've seen multiple documentaries about these 2 guys and have done a lot of reading about what they have set up to help other inmates inside the jail, many different types of activities designed to up skill who are incarcerated there. They work tirelessly at this & their chief warden even appeared at their clemency appeals and said they should be spared because they've reformed.Disgusting conduct. These lads are reformed & they actually have a lot to give back to society be it in Indonesia or Australia, stuff to actually atone for their crime & continue to repay their debt. For any people to have spent almost 10 years in a hell hole prison & actually come out with their heads held high, only for them to be shot off literally. Makes me sick. Definitely would NEVER set foot in Indonesia now.
Drug war is a farce, causes so many more problems than the actual drugs themselves. So much sympathy for the 2 guys' families
Are you kidding me? Do you actually condone the fact that they were trying to smuggle 8,5kgs of heroin into Australia? At the time that was worth AUD4m. Their greed caught up with them. And just how have they reformed? He was a habitual druggie himself and he planned to make money - research it.
Plus they know the laws of Indonesia (and Malaysia) that drugs carry the death penalty - much like the slow death of the consumers of heroin and the total destruction of their family and social network.
Glad you now have no plans to go to Indonesia.
So that is a warden of significant experience saying they've reformed, not just me. You say he WAS a "druggie". Go and do some research yourself to see how he no longer is & how hard time fixed him, he could have just thrown in the towel and spiraled out of control inside, but he didn't, he chose a better outlet.
Greed and gross reckless stupidity certainly shouldn't be punishable by death imho. You might think differently, up to you. I certainly don't agree with you but hope you can enlighten yourself a little more to understand cause and effect, and how people can in fact change for the better. I hope you do go and research a little more closely before you reply again
Death should only be for the absolute worst crimes and imo this is not one of those. I completely agree with your point of view z42.

Chiang Mai to Vientiane on Nok for 5,000 baht roundtrip including the Lao visa. It takes approx 2 1/2 hours.
Please tell me how to get from Chiang Mai to Penang faster or for less money.
My point was not to compare Baht for Baht but simply say that Penang remains an easy destination for toursit visa.
If comparing, Penang (Laos) has no visa cost, beaches and places to visit.
Each one can look at the different options and decide by himself depending of budget and personal preference.
It is possible to go to Penang and back with air asia for less than 5000 Baht depending on the promotions. I have one booked for next month myself. Also, as someone pointed out you dont have any fees to enter Malaysia and personally i much prefer to go there rather than Laos.

I went for an average cleaning at Elite smile and afterwards i asked the dentist about the possibility of seeing the orthodontist for a consultation. After a quick discussion with her assistant i was told that he doesnt service farangs as he doesnt speak English well. Her actual words were "he doesnt like speaking to farangs" i just assumed it was because of the language barrier. I found this a little strange seeing all the prices at reception were also listed in USD. I wont be going again.

They are seperate services - not possible

Not sure which channels those are but I have a problem with most of the GMM channels on cth like football plus, club channel etc. Picture is awful even when smooth but also it breaks up very frequently. I am fairly sure it's not a problem on my end because most of the other channels are fine.

^^^ Commerce, what you describe is not unusual for tollways around the city. When the Eastern Seaboard expressway was being built 15 years ago, several cars went off the unfinished end - resulting in deaths - because there were either no barriers or inadequate signs and lights. The usual vows of cleaning up their act were made, but nothing was really done. In one instance I recall, a project engineer and a couple of workers were arrested and charged. Their bosses weren't.
I almost did this myself on the road you are talking about. Just managed to skid to a halt, will never forget it for the rest of my life. Very little consideration here for road safety unfortunately.

we have some annoying dogs that some stupid owner kickes out at night and barks all day & specially at night
i could understand you get fed up with the howlig all night and take matters in own hands as the owner is never responsible
you go to jail to kill a stray dog these days ?
do you appear in animal court ? and go to doggy prison ?
There is nothing more sickening, imo, than the harming of a defenceless child or animal.

They are just lulling them into a false sense of security - there will be a lorry around later to take them for a nice trip to Vietnam with a bit of luck.
Also, who on earth wants to buy fresh food from a store riddled with those pox infected creatures?
Hopefully you will be on the lorry as well

I am looking for a GOOD orthodontist in BKK (ideally having trained in USA). Sorry to hijack the thread, I have used the search function and also tried to find one in CM without success. If someone could oblige i would be very grateful.
Thanks

The standard price is 400-500 Baht per unit. I use dragon air but they are often fairly booked up.

OK, I'll be the first one to call the OP a troll.
The post doesn't make any sense.+1. Nonsense arrogant rubbish.
I'm not a teacher but i have some great teacher friends who are very hard workers and teach for a variety of reasons. Hope i never reach a point where i look down on people for their chosen profession..

Thank you for your suggestions. I will give Elite a try.

I'm also looking for an orthodontist in CM. Ideally would like to find someone that has trained in the USA if possible.
I would be grateful for any recommendations.
Thank you

i have no problems with not allowing back to back tourist visas and VOA's if that's what they choose to do but my issue is with people being denied at borders. This is what creates the unecessary confusion. The decision on whether someone is a visa runner should be made by the embassy when they apply for a visa and not at a border.
I have just got back from London with a new triple entry tourist visa (GBP 75). I have a passport full of tourist visas/VOAs and non-immigrant visas. I have purchased future tickets from Thailand etc based on my being able to stay during the time printed on my visa and also made various plans for trips with friends in Thailand. Now i am in a situation where i don't know if i will be able to return for my second or third entry. If they had denied my visa application at the embassy then i would simply not have travelled to Thailand in the first place.

I'm talking about places under curfew. If the curfew has been lifted then that is another matter altogether.
Also, if you want me to be specific about CM i know of some places here which continue to operate 24 hours a day with the full knowledge of the authorities but others are not allowed to.

Well i would have no problem with this if it was consistent everywhere. It is quite clear though that some businesses (discos etc in BKK central Sukhumvit and certain places in CM) continue to operate openly through the curfew hours while others are not able to. Clearly this is because some businesses have deeper pockets than others (or are owned by people with more influence). I thought the coup was supposed to stop this corruption wasn't that what it was all about? So why is this stuff going on just a few weeks after the coup started?

I don't understand why you have a difficulty in meeting a lady. I can't even go to the shops without being informed that someones sister, aunt, cousin ETC is single and looking for a nice farang and do i want her number. I'm in my early 50's but i get offered ladies of all ages.
Yes, but if girls are looking specifically for a farang and of a certain age then alarm bells should be ringing.The OP has stated that he doesn't want to be an ATM for such girls.

You should not a have a problem getting the visa.
You can only apply by post to the embassy in London. You can only apply at the consulates in person now.
I am going to apply for a triple entry in person in London on Monday (i have a lot of stamps over many years). Where did you hear you must apply by post?
This is the link to the Thai embassy in London and it states you can apply in person and the visa will take 1 working day. If this is not possible i am going to have a problem because i am only in the UK for a few days.

Yes they have the rights for the EPL for at least next season. Who has it after that (2016/2017 season onwards) will be decided very soon.
